Grilled Fish – A Taste of the Sea on the Charcoal

Grilled Fish (or Chawaya l'Hout in Moroccan Arabic) is one of the most delicious and popular dishes in Morocco, especially during the summer and in coastal regions. The preparation is simple, but the flavor is absolutely amazing.

The secret to perfect grilled fish lies in the marinade (chermoula), which gives it a special taste. The fish is marinated, then grilled over charcoal, which adds a smoky aroma and crispy texture on the outside while keeping the inside tender.

Grilled fish is typically served with fresh Moroccan bread and sometimes a side salad. Some people also prepare fish balls (hout kwari) and grill those as well.

This dish is perfect for bringing the family together, evoking the joy of beach gatherings, laughter, and the wonderful scent of grilling fish. It's a true symbol of simplicity and enjoyment in Moroccan cuisine.
